8.

Concrete was poured today, I couldn't believe how quickly it all happened, they were done before I even was out of bed! (I think it was July 10 or thereabouts - I lost a batch of pics from then so don't remember the exact dates) Two days later the forms were off and here's our foundation. The portion in the foreground was actually done at a later date. That will be just a crawl space, not full basement. This 12' x 24' section is part of our 16'x 16' bedroom.

After it's done, they spray something like tar on the cement to waterproof the walls. You can see the guy in his overalls and mask spraying in the next pic.

Larry started to backfill but first he put in a new water line to the well. When the new house is here, the water will be disconnected from this house and connected to the new one.

So that's about all that's happened in the past 3 weeks. Of course the most exciting part was finalizing our plans and actually ordering the house. We are still in line to receive it in August, of course that could be 5 more weeks too! Hope not. In the meantime I'm enjoying gardening in the window boxes on my ramp. Theres another box you can't see full of salad fixin's that I can pick right from my chair.
